In the spirit of the Olympics, let me be the first from my country to say go team USA.

Sorry America there will be no miracle on ice this time. USA will not win hockey gold, sadly though I think our other arch rival Russia will beat Canada in the Gold Medal Final. Oh well Go Canada go, & no I will not say that stupid Pepsi cheer, "eh oh Canada go!"

"There is much beauty that we fail to see through our own eyes teeming with life forms that give us that perception of our reality. Leaves on the trees blowing gently in the wind, or scarily, the waves pounding through high surf, or lightly on a warm summer’s day; that opportunity to sit or swim in the water on a white beach. That comfort to shout, “The universal conscious do you hear me? I am alive, guide me dear logos towards the path of rightnesses.” Earned what has been kept, no longer to be absorbed into a life filled with cold damn winds and that stubborn fog clouding my vision with nothing but darkness."

Home Ice advantage, that ain't fair.

I say Go Dutchies, sweep the medals at speed skating and see if we can get the 100th gold medal in Dutch Olympic History.

I think our short track speed skating team has something to say about that. The Dutch go empty handed this time around leading to riots in Amsterdam.

I had hoped for a medal in normal hill, ski jumping today, but the Norwegians underperformed somewhat i think.

Now we have to rely on Bøkko at 5000m speed skating, but i guess Sven Kramer will take it home to The Netherlands.

Enjoy!

[fierce patriotism]Boy I can't wait for Norway to get a whopping in hockey in the next few days. It's a mere question of the score: 16-0 12-0, 8-0, 6-1? Humm choke Norway choke. [/fierce patriotism]

I haven't watched hockey since the last Olympics, but now I am getting excited.

It's going to be good because there's controversy for the next games in Russia. Apparently the NHL owners are trying to keep the professionals from going to the next olympic games. And if the power house countries can't send their best then a team like Switzerland could take the next hockey gold.
